Burn The Boats

Burn the Boats 

Intro 
A D 


[Verso 1]
 
A                           D 
Are the redwood trees, ever in your dreams? 
A                                        D 
Are the branches twistin' higher in your mind? 
            A                             D 
You hear an angel choir, under cathedral spires? 
         F#m                                   D                E 
Do you remember how the world lit up when we crossed that borderline? 
            D 
And do you ever miss that fragile sun 
      D 
The way you felt when there was no turning back? 
 


[Refrão]
 
A    F#m     D           E 
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again 
A            F#m    D              E 
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins 
   F#m     A   D                         Bm 
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke 
                       A 
Barely clingin' to the ropes 
       E          A 
Light a match & burn the boats

[Verso 2]
 
         A                         D 
Like a statue stands, above the ancient sand 
         A                               D 
You can't bury all the fire inside of you 
            A                          D 
Seems everywhere you've been, glows beneath your skin 
       F#m                                 D            E 
Like you're covered up from head to toe in invisible tattoos 
         D 
I never want to force your hand 
   D                  E 
I think you know that time is runnin' down

A    F#m     D           E 
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again 
A            F#m    D              E 
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins 
   F#m     A   D                         Bm 
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke 
                       A 
Barely clingin' to the ropes 
        E                   D 
Light a match & burn the boats 
 


[Ponte]
 
A            E          D 
There is no secret harbor 
A            E        D 
There is no perfect armor 
      D#       Dm       E         A 
If we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall 
 


[Refrão]
 
A    F#m     D           E 
Somehow, I know you'll ride with me again 
A            F#m    D              E 
When you come round, I'll meet you where the sky begins 
   F#m     A   D                         Bm 
And right now, if you're longin' for the smoke 
                       A 
Barely clingin' to the ropes 
        E                   A   D 
Light a match & burn the boats 
        A         D 
Light a match 
       A 
& burn the boats
